IMPRESSION OBSESSION SHINEY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to a new challenge at IO and also to a new year!

To kick off the new year the first challenge is," Shiny". Anything with a little shimmer and shine will work. So, join in and play along using your IO Stamps and dies. As always, there will be a $25 IO Gift Certificate up for grabs.

I always struggle with photographing especially when there is not a lot of color and contrast...throw in shiny and this is what I end up with, lol! IRL it's quite lovely and done in glossy white, silver mirror and the BG is a rich grey StarDream paper.

I love interactive cards and this was so easy to do.

The SNOWFLAKE DIE SET was used. The larger snowflake was cut twice. I glued a silver metallic string down the middle of the flake before adhering the two together back to back. A white layer was made and temporarily placed onto the card base. A circle cut was made using a die that was larger than the flake. The string was placed between the two layers (white & grey) and then permanently taped together.

TheWELCOME DIE was cut twice. The mirror paper was taped on top of the darker grey to shadow it.

Inside was kept very clean and simple using the numbers from the CLASS OF DIE SET.
